Re: Kindschi and Kindschy

Kessinger's 1888 "History of Buffalo County" also includes Christian Kindschy senior and Christ Kindschy,Jr - from Canton Grissions (Grubunden) arriving in 1855. First Location Waumadee. Christ Sr. dying October 1884. and Christ Jr present location Montana (all Buffalo County).The book also includes earliest marriages, however no Kindshys are included. This book is also available as it was reprinted. However, that is all the information on the Kindschy's. My ancestors from Grubunden also arrived in 1856 leaving from LeHave ,France. they also settled in Salk County, Wi for 4 years prior to arriving overland to Buffalo County. Salk County appears to be a jumping off spot for Swiss immigrants arriving in US.
